Susu Mamas

Susu Mamas is a non-government organisation (NGO) that was formed over 30 years ago to support and promote breast feeding for infants.

In 2009 we received funding from AusAID HIV Programs to expand the Prevention of Parent to Child Transmission (PPTCT) to the WHP and Morobe Province. The PPTCT program was integrated with maternal and child health services.

Since 2011 the emphasis has been on the provision of integrated Family and Youth health services at; urban clinics, rural and settlement outreach clinics and in partnership with other government and non-government health care providers.

The demand for services has increased rapidly and Susu Mamas now provide health services in (7) seven provinces which are operated from (4) four provincial offices.
